A long-simmered meat sauce built on ground beef, carrots, celery, and tomatoes, tossed with gluten-free spaghetti. Deep, savory, and rich without a drop of dairy or wheat. The sauce cooks low and slow until the flavors marry and the meat turns tender. Perfect for a weeknight or Sunday supper.
Tender beef and pork meatballs bake in tangy marinara sauce while creamy polenta cooks on the stovetop. The meatballs get a quick sear for colour, then finish in the oven where they drink up the tomato sauce. Meanwhile, polenta bubbles away, turning silky and rich with butter and parmesan. Everything comes together in about an hour, and the kitchen smells like an Italian grandmother's house. Naturally gluten-free when you use certified polenta and check your sauce labels, this is comfort food that covers all the bases without any fuss.
A rich, silky sauce built on butter, cream, and Parmesan, with plenty of garlic to give it backbone. This is the real deal, not the flour-thickened stuff. It clings to fettuccine like it was made for it, and honestly, it was. The key is good cheese and a gentle hand on the heat so the sauce stays smooth and glossy.
This is a hearty, comforting soup that hits all the classic Tuscan notes: tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, wilted spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and that rich, creamy broth. The twist here is oat cream in place of dairy cream, and it works beautifully. Oat cream has a neutral, slightly sweet flavour that lets the garlic, Italian herbs, and sun-dried tomato oil do their thing without getting in the way. The broth ends up silky and full-bodied, and the gnocchi soaks up every bit of it. A splash of white wine and a good handful of nutritional yeast give you that savoury depth you'd normally get from parmesan. This one photographs really well too: deep golden broth, green spinach, red tomato flecks, and those plump little dumplings peeking through.
